I just got an espn email alert that the Browns gave up their 4th, 5th, and 7th round picks to move up from 4th to 3rd in the first round? Is that right? I'm no draft expert, but that sounds like about the dumbest thing I've heard all week.

Are they trying to make sure they get Richardson? Or, gasp, Tannehill?! The last I heard was that Colt made major strides during the offseason so far and they were totally okay with him as their guy heading into next season.

Any way RG3 doesn't go to the Redskins? The more I listen to the guy the more I like him, and I'd really hate to have to pull against him in the NFC East.

The Browns thought another team was going to move up, I forget which one, to pick up Richardson. So they traded away those picks to ensure they pick up Richardson. Seems fair considering they have 13 picks this draft, so they had a few to spare. You'll only know if it was worth it a few years down the road.

Another edit:
That Durant commercial for the playoffs is amazing... I've said this a bunch, but what a great ambassador as an athlete for the university...

I don't feel like confirming this, but this is probably going to be the first time in Draft history that the top 3 guys from that year's Heisman Race also go in the top 3 spots in the draft, albeit in a different order.

NFL Network's poll question is who will be a better pro: Andrew Luck or RG3? RG3 leading 61 to 39 percent.

Impossible to tell, imo. Just a bunch of guesses and could go either way. I will say I agree that Luck right now is the better fit for Indy. Then again, they are rebuilding, so what's to say they couldn't rebuild around RG3?

Seems like the guys over on NFL Network like RG3.

Just can't bring myself to watch espn, despite how bad these other guys suck.

cleveland can take someone like kendall wright or alshon jeffrey with their 2nd pick.

My problem with Wright is, that you can get someone like Broyles much later who has proven more and has a heigher floor than Kendall Wright. Wright does have a heigher ceiling, but he is also much more raw than Broyles. Broyles can be an almost Derrick Mason type, who isn't an elite talent, but they thrive on running great routes, having great hands and outworking the secondary.

What's going to hurt Alshon is that there are so many receivers in this draft that have roughly the same physical skills that he has - Floyd, Hill, Fuller, Criner, Randle, Streeter, Jones, amd Toon. I do think he is more polished as a receiver than all of those guys though and probably is the best wideout in the draft as I'm not too keen on Blackmon.

Yeah, I get that they had a ton of picks. I just hate using a high first rounder on a running back when their shelf life is an average of like three years. And to give up 4th, 5th, and 7th rounder to move up one freaking slot to make sure you get that rb you want? Insanity. Those middle round picks ain't worthless - wasn't Owen Daniels like a 4th round pick?! Seems like a stupid move to me.
